Nakakagalit! Nakakapanggalaiti! Nakasusuklam! Ang sarap nilang silaban sa lungga ng mga buwaya!
Vendors work all day just to earn ₱400 and still pay taxes. Jeepney drivers spend hours in traffic, risking their safety, only to bring home ₱500.
Meanwhile, corrupt officials hide billions in “room vaults.” Imagine entire rooms stacked with stolen money.
That kind of money could have built schools so children do not sit on broken chairs. It could have provided job opportunities and raised wages so families can actually live with dignity. It could have funded hospitals with enough medicine and doctors.
Filipinos are poor not because we do not work hard. Mahirap ang Pilipinas because greed keeps stealing from the very people who sacrifice every day: drivers, vendors, and workers. Billions stolen, tax-free, while the poor pay every single peso.
The Philippines and Filipinos deserve better.
